Leading audio brand Victrola makes some of the best turntables on the market, and their latest collaboration with Third Man Records is set to rock Record Store Day 2026.

Combining Victrola’s analog expertise with record label and music store Third Man Records (co-founded by Jack White), the two music moguls are launching an exclusive collection featuring a revamped version of the Victrola Wave turntable finished in Third Man’s flagship black and yellow colors. In addition to the turntable, the duo also give Victrola’s Tempo bookshelf speakers the Third Man treatment, so make a complete system.

The collection launches on Record Store Day itself (April 18) and retails for $499.99/£455 for the Victrola Wave turntable and $249.99/$225 for the Tempo speakers, or you can save $100 and opt for the $649.99 limited-time bundle. It will be available to buy online from Third Man Records and Victrola’s web store, or you can buy it in-store at Third Man’s Detroit, Nashville, and London sites.

“What Jack and his team have built is something truly magical,” says Victrola CEO Scott Hagen. “They don’t just paint things yellow and black – it’s as if they bring inanimate objects to life, each with its own character and soul. Perhaps that’s why vinyl and vinyl culture fit so naturally into the world of Third Man”.

Co-founder Ben Blackwell, speaking on behalf of Third Man Records, is equally excited about the collaboration, sharing “Third Man is excited to make these turntables and speakers with the cool cats over at Victrola”.

Victrola unveiled the original Wave turntable at CES 2025, and it caught the attention of analog enthusiasts for a special reason. In addition to offering aptX Adaptive support for higher-quality listening, Victrola’s Wave turntable comes with Auracast, a Bluetooth option that enables multi-device connectivity, taking it a step beyond one-to-one device pairing. Just think how cool it would be to spin your new RSD presses and listen to them anywhere in your place? Absolute bliss.

But Victrola’s funky Wave revamp is just the beginning of the company’s partner RSD parties, which are also a carefully curated collection of Third Man Records pressings including Jack White’s Blunderbuss and The White Stripes essential listening Elephant. There’s also a live album by the Brooklyn-based band Geese thrown in there, which as a huge fan I’m now suddenly craving. The launch is also set to be followed by an RSD event at Third Man’s Chicago store – any chance you can squeeze us onto the guest list guys?
